One lesson from the last run with this: if you have a rumor, please specify the reliability/closeness of the source. I.e., from best (member of a committee) to worst (third hand information from a friend of a cousin of a candidate). No names are needed, of course, just a little more specificity.

A&M is already interviewing? Their (Bush School) ad says that "review of appliations will BEGIN on October 16". True, earlier is better, but seems to kinda screw people who figured getting a file in two weeks before the requested date was good enough.

Makes more sense if it's PoliSci which had a 9/15 date for a general IR job, but "international security" was the Bush school job.

Those interviews are for the jr job in the Security Studies Program, which is part of Georgetown's School of Foreign Service. The Security Studies Program is also searching at the senior level, which are the other "likely" interviews.

The Georgetown government department is conducting a separate search for a jr ir/security person. Those interviews have not leaked (yet).

8:11. If we get consistent information about people's affiliation, we'll list them. But don't presume that we (1) get such information and (2) have the inclination and/or ability to track down more comprehensive information about names.

Full names? Frankly, we chose to list first initials for aesthetic reasons having to do with the size of the table. If there's much demand, we can look into changing that.

Thanks to 10:26 for providing full information.

While we're at it, can anyone confirm the rumors we've listed as "unconfirmed"?

The LBJ School at UT-Austin is hiring in IPE/IR. Not sure if it's up on the APSA site...Here is a link to the job description. I didn't seem to find it, but application is due on October 15, though I'm not sure if that's a hard and fast deadline or if the committee is going to start reviewing app's then.http://www.utexas.edu/lbj/faculty/asstprof_position.php

The blog masters ask if the Pevehouse interview is at Harris or Political Science. I don't know, but the contact person listed on the calendar is Cynthia Cook Conley--the same contact person on the Harris job ad. So I assume it is for Harris.

-A jr IR/security position in the govt dept (those are the Goddard and Kroenig interviews)

-A jr security position in Georgetown's Security Studies Program (a master's program within its School of Foreign Service)--that's the position for which Jones, Kagan, Felbab-Brown, and Horowitz are being interviewed

-A sr security position in the Security Studies Program--those are the confirmed, but names undisclosed, interviews listed in the rumor mill table

Ohio State is interviewing Bear Braumoeller, in addition to Pevehouse, and will interview several junior people, who have yet to be determined by the IR search committee. OSU has two (and possibly three) hires in IR this year.

Why did we delete the tenure discussion here? At a minimum, speculation on individual tenure times belong on the "job market discussion" thread and not on the job rumors thread. But we're very wary of these kinds of questions, as we think they focus on the circumstances of individual job candidates. We've allowed at least one such discussion to proceed, but we generally watch them closely.

"Campus politics." I mean -- inter- and cross-departmental conflict (or "bargaining" if you want to be more gracious), inter-divisional competition for resources (Arts & Sciences vs. Engineering, etc.), things of that nature. Not "campus politics" like the protests that were going on at Gaulladet.

I'm a bit shocked that 'campus politics', as described, have entailed that searches that had already been advertised have been cancelled. Whatever the details, doesn't seem to signal good things at a university (in this case UCLA).
